LIT publishes critical essays that embody our announced aims and scope and demonstrate an engaging, coherent interpretive method. Our hope is that a clear theoretical perspective will produce original, close readings of texts. Because LIT addresses a general literate audience, we encourage essays unburdened by excessive or tired theoretical jargon. Submissions range from about 5,000 to 10,000 words and must use the most current MLA citation style. We welcome illustrated essays. Photographs and line art should be reproduced as 8 x 10 black and white slides or as high quality paper prints. Color images should be sent to us as slides. Authors must secure permission to reproduce illustrations from the copyright holder or owner. Please send essays in triplicate to our editorial office. (Contributors living outside the U.S. or Canada may send one copy.) Submissions will be acknowledged and decided upon within three months. On publication, senior authors receive twenty-five reprints. Copyright remains in possession of the journal. As a final note, we strongly recommend that prospective contributors browse several copies of LIT to get a sense of the kinds and quality of material we publish.
